I started out my current job with good intentions, but it's not working out and it's been a few years. I consistently under-perform, miss deadlines, feel like I'm blown about like the wind in my role, and I'm consistently of no value to my team despite being in a senior role. My manager has grown frustrated and I know there is no upward mobility at this company for me. Whenever my fingers touch my keyboard my soul screams at me and I'm flown a decade into the past when I actually had somethin...| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange

From whitehouse.gov: The Department of Education burdens schools with regulations and paperwork. Its “Dear Colleague” letters have forced schools to redirect resources toward complying with ideological initiatives, which diverts staff time and attention away from schools’ primary role of teaching. Biden’s Department of Education added rules that imposed nearly $3.9 billion in costs and 4,239,530 paperwork hours.

The back cover of historian and scholar Theodore W.

Sorry for my bad English here (I'm French speaking)... I'm writing an adventure novel occurring in October 1944, in the USA. A woman (lets call her Alice) is working as a scientist in a military hospital of New Hampshire. She has to drive all alone down to Louisiana, with her Ford Sedan Deluxe 1940 (which has a v8 motor). I know that there was a federal speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h) at that time, and gas restrictions for the civilians. As a relatively important scientist, Alice have a class...| Recent Questions - History Stack Exchange
I've seen some claims online that Trump (2024) and Biden (2020) were the oldest people to ever be nominated for president by a US political party. However a bit of research seems to show that this isn't true. For example, Peter Cooper (1876:Greenback party) was 85, and William Hope Harvey (1932:Liberty party) was 81. Who were the oldest presidential nominees, and where do Trump and Biden rank on this list?| Recent Questions - History Stack Exchange
Original Post There was a shortage of doctors and nurses in the United States during 1960s, 1970s, which resulted in the Immigration Act of 1965. People in countries such as India immediately made their kids study medicine so they become Doctors and immigrate to the United States (I have first-hand knowledge of this) But I am unable to find information on who sponsored these Doctors from abroad. Did the hospital where they did medical residency sponsor them? Or there was no need for sponsorsh...| Recent Questions - History Stack Exchange
I've always been baffled and fascinated by this "prohibition" era in the USA between 1920 and 1933. That's 13 years! I know very well about the concept of "speakeasy" clubs, that is, illegal bars. These were physical locations (obviously), allegedly available "in every corner". How did the authorities somehow not find these? All it would take would be one pissed off customer, who gets angry at the bar keeper for any reason, such as not getting another drink on credit or something, to just go ...| Recent Questions - History Stack Exchange
I see everywhere, both here and also in other sources, that HR is not your friend. The sources are always in the USA, and they always try to make clear for the employee of the USA, to not trust them, particularly not file reports to them. From the context, I believe, these "filing reports" might mean that the guy writes some bad about his boss or teammates to unknown guys in another department far away, representing and paid by the company.

Received a verbal offer for a new job with the expectation that the written offer will arrive early next week (I live in the US and specifically in MA). The challenge I am facing is that I have a 2 week vacation scheduled to start on the following Thursday, which would at best give me a week to 1.5 weeks worth of notice to give to my current employer. Would it be a concern to take a less than 2 week notice period (as my new job 'prefers' that I would start before EOM)?| Recent Questions - The Workplace Stack Exchange

Auctioning the low-3 S-band spectrum for commercial 5G use poses serious national security risks, potentially interfering with military radar and missile defense systems. Given escalating air and missile threats, the U.S. should maintain exclusive military access to this spectrum while continuing to study long-term sharing options.
